TRUDEF™ VDK3 Fractal Video Codec is an effective method of playing high quality high resolution 2x2 block encoded Intra Frame video at high bitrates on commodity hardware up to 8K.

Fractal video compression is asymmetrical in nature, encoding is resource intensive, however, playback is lightweight and fast. Fractal image compression is founded on the fact that in a sequence of images blocks containing self similar patterns are repeated. A fractal algorithm mathematically encodes these blocks into data called "fractal codes". When images are viewed; fractal code containing matching blocks of the original are remapped back into the image reusing self similar blocks where matches exist.

The TRUDEF™ VDK3 Fractal Decoder is currently being ported to TMMI's new UWP compliant TRUDEF™ Video Player, replacing the original TRUDEF™ Fractal Video Player developed in 2012/13.
